I didn’t think I’d be saying this, considering that I loved, loved the original Korean version of My Name is Kim Sam Soon. But the GMA 7 version, Ako si Kim Sam Soon, is not bad, not bad at all (insert cringe here).

Regine Velasquez aside, the supporting cast is entertaining. John Lapuz as the kooky assistant makes me laugh my pants off.

Also, Mark Anthony Fernandez as Cyrus, Sam Soon’s love interest is dreamy. Who knew I’d be saying that? Hahaha. He fits his role to a T. I never noticed him before or thought he was cute. But his role in Sam Soon is a revelation. I just might end up watching the series because of him and because of John Lapuz.
